When Robots take over most jobs

[Techno-Druid]

Well in future where most jobs can be a replaced or minimized by machines, how do we support all those people who could lose their jobs?

[taliey]

Well, they're just going to have work even harder and be even more cost effective than automation obviously.

But humans cost more in the long run, companies may pay more initially to put machines in, but once they see the long-term benefits of machines costing significantly less, a good amount will make the switch albiet slowly.

Universal income is the only way to solve this problem. Machines can either free us or doom us, the choice is ours.

Um, thanks for agreeing to my post?

Obviously we just have to give the billionaires some tax breaks.

[bladeXcrasher]

Socialism of course.

Every person over 18 yo receives a robot, free of charge, paid for by the government. That robot will now work for the person and the person will be in charge of maintaining it. The robot can take any job it can do and the revenue will belong to the owner. Losing it for whatever reason, will not provide them with another, they are in charge of the robot they got.

The robot can be programmed an upgraded to perform more jobs but it will be on the expense of the owner.

I care about the well being and the welfare of my fellow man, but if he's unemployed and becomes homeless as a result, he can go fuck himself.

Are you kidding me? Dem worthless people already complain about how much they have to do to get their welfare. You want them to work for something? LOLOLOLOL.

That's an inevitable result when we lose far more jobs to automation than can be created.

How is it my fault if I can't get a job when all the jobs are replaced by machines?

[PC2]

Socialism of course.

Easily, it would only take a couple percent of the budget to feed everyone in the nation.

That's the only solution even if the masses don't understand it right now.

Just wait for 20-30 years for IA to take over executives jobs and the bells will be different. Robotic labor has to be taxed. And this money redistributed to the masses so they may still be able consume.

Perpetuel destruction of jobs is not bad. But expecting peoples to ever find something else to do when what's left is shrinking is stupid.

Because you didn't pick yourself up by your bootstraps.

[Jester Joe]

I mean, technically robot workers could be outlawed, there's always that solution.

Not to mention the preferable solution of just eliminating 95% of the worthless human population of Earth.

it's not like we are bound and gagged forever by capitalism

That is easily addressed. They either have to live with their parents, gets skills and a job, or we build warehouses for those homeless people.

Aww life must be hard under capitalism for you, in Denmark of all places.

That's not quite preferable at all. And I would wager there's more than 5% of the human population that's not worthless.

Or the government assigns every adult a robot, which is then rented to an employer to perform a job, the human still gets an income.
